SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters IPatent No. 705,694, dated July 29, 1902.

Application filed March 10, 1902- Serial No. 97,439. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. MURRAY, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of Oincinnati,in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Framework for Spring Beds or Seats, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is a means for connecting the springs in spring beds and seats, which is pliable beneath unequally-distributed pressures,noiseless in action, and which presents a hat surface on top.-

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan View of a spring-seat embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section of the same, taken on line a 2, Fig. 1.

Referring to the parts, frame A is of ordinary construction, and the top loops b of coils B, which are adjacent to the frame, are coupled thereto by clips 0. Between each longitudinal row of springs and its adjacent row are two oppositely-curved wires D, which are coupled side by side at intervals by clips 0, and whence each diverges to points alongside of the top loops of springs B in the row of springs adjacent to the Wire and is there coupled to the spring by a similar clip 0. Wires 1) and loops b are in one plane. Thus it is seen that as wires D cross neither each 6 other nor the springs at any point under depression they donot strike one another and therefore are noiseless, that when a spring orsprings in one row are depressed the other rows are not thereby distorted, and that a flat 3'5 upper surface is presented by the whole.

What I claim is- 1. In a spring-bottom having rows of coiled springs,'the combination of two oppositely curved wires between therows coupled side 40 by side at intervals and each thence diverg ing to points alongside of the top loops of the springs in the adjacent row and there coupled to the springs, substantially as shown and described.

2. In a spring-bottom having rows of coiled springs the combination of two oppositelycurved wires between the rows lying side by side at intervals and each thence diverging to points alongside of the top loops of the 50 springs, and clips coupling the wires to one another and to the top loops of the coils at the meeting-points, substantially as shown and described.
